Best Schools

Best Schools <p>Your children are talented, motivated, and capable of changing the world. We&rsquo;re here to help find the right school for them. We went back to school ourselves, touring campuses, sitting in on classes, dodging spitballs in the cafeteria, and talking to students. We&rsquo;ll walk you through 245 private schools&mdash;some in depth, some via a quick glance. Next, senior editor James Ross Gardner profiles cabbie Mustapha Dhoodi, who escaped war horrors in Somalia only to face other dangers on Seattle&rsquo;s streets. Plus: our 21st Century Gift Guide; the restoration of the UW president&rsquo;s historic home; skiing the backcountry at Beverly Peak; and a new modern Asian bistro in the ID.</p>
